In Java, when making an HTTPS connection, people generally encounter the following exception stack trace:

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

This happens because the appropriate CA certificates are not present in the trust store.

In cases of a HTTP Proxy that utilizes SSL, it becomes even more frustrating to debug such exception.

Using this program, one can quickly find what CA certificates are needed in the trust store to complete the connection.

Note:

It only supports non-authenticated HTTP Proxy.

This program can be distributed and modified freely as long as the comments are maintained.

Requires Java 6 to run.

Read the ReadMe-TrustedPathDebugger.txt for instructions on how to run the program.
